I wonder if the indian backers are the hindjuda brothers. worth a lot of money.

Knowing moxey its probably a consortium cobbled together from the kitchen staff at the local take away!

Hope it's not the bhatti brothers!



26 Apr 2016 20:09:43
I hope so, reading up on them they seem genuinely decent, enlightened / slightly hippy, would suit me fine :-) One of them is quoted as saying "Our faith is that we all belong to the human race. "

I guess they've not met Moxey yet then :-P.

Bhatti's weren't Indian. And no, it's not the Hinduja's - sadly!



27 Apr 2016 12:07:01

27 Apr 2016 13:59:04

27 Apr 2016 19:43:10

There is something not right with money shop deal apart from no one wanting their crappy name plastered everywhere -when we did deal with silverbug there was an approx figure mentioned both by club and media yet with this deal been not one mention about how much deal worth to club, only its 3yr deal and all the bs spouted about how they committed to helping community ( help make them in debt more like ) so why all the secrecy over how much deals worth? What do know is its worth a lot less now since all the bad publicity money shop been getting on social media and tv.

Yamyamrob.

You’ve got a point. If Money Shop is NOT buying Wolves, why is the sponsorship money not declared? When something is kept secret you suspect skulduggery. If Money Shop has a contract in place to buy Wolves, the sponsorship money might be above market value, but it’s hard to value such things given the unusual circumstances of an undesirable sponsor. The sponsorship money might be part investment to get round FFP rules.

Will there be a throwin of dolls out the pram by supporters if the owners of the moneyshop buy the club?
I think not!
A supposed billionaire taking control & all this kerfuffle will be long forgot.
Money talks & that's why we now have there name on next seasons shirts.No big deal in my opinion they just as bad as all the betting websites that now adorn every ground in the country.

I know it sounds cynical but you're right.

The 10000 who have signed this petition have got to be realistic.The game has changed beyond all comprhension & money now talks what with the scale of players wages today he who pays the most has to prevail.We not going to get a nice local firm to pay what Moneyshop have payed for there name to be on the shirt.
For once Moxey has earned his corn.

But that's a terminal problem. It's like saying music has changed, real artists like Rolling Stones etc don't exist anymore, so we should all support X-Factor like we did the Rolling Stones and real music, because that's what it is now. Not a chance in hell, I'd rather quit listening to new music completely.

If Moneyshop is not a cunning plan to get a new owners prem push warchest round FFP and doesn't translate into big spending this summer, if it's just ordinary business - I was born Wolves, but won't support WWFC-Moneyshop, I'll support Shrewsbury or quit football completely. Even vintage Wolves shirts will be no good, anyone sees Wolves, they'll think Moneyshop, like with Blackpool and Wonga now.

It's a harsh reality of todays game.Money is the motivating factor now for players & owners not the love of the game.Sky started it all off & the likes of Moneyshop & Wonga are just putting themselves in the shop window.If they are prepared to pay good money doing it that's there call & i'd argue we'd be mad as a club with no more parachute payments to come to turn it down.If this was X factor or BGT Simon Cowell would have buzzed us off a long time ago.

I agree about the commercialism, just the way the modern World is, but it has to do more good than harm or it's self-defeating. I'm a pro marketeer, was educated by and worked for the Worlds most successful Affinity Bank (did products in partnership with other Companies brands) . Moneyshop + Wolves is without doubt the worst affinity partnership I've ever seen. Apart from how it undermines our image as a family club, all our charity and community work, and SMorgan's legacy, it's a financial disaster waiting to happen.

I've seen figures suggested in trade press that the deal is worth around £400k per yr, 3 yrs = £1.2m. That may not be true, if it's to do with a buyer and to get round FFP, it could be worth £10m or even £20m and WWFC are being misleading to stop transfer fee inflation. But if it is true, WWFC will lose at least half that much in just shirt and merchandising sales crashing. It will also drive down attendance, Wolves-player and site subscriptions, annoy other sponsors - WWFC would be lucky to break even if not lose money on it in the long-run.

And that's before the real damage, which is the enormous harm it will do to WWFC's brand - if the Nation notice (like if we were in Prem as Moneyshop Wolves) Moneyshop would force WWFC's (and Wolverhampton's) brand into a down market urban corner it would never escape or recover from, like Wonga has done Blackpool. We have a heritage and identity that's real, includes urban and rural, from grass roots enterprise that isn't class defined, is heroic and glam - the exact opposite of Moneyshop. That identity is a seed that could see us properly massive if handled right, it's worth more than Moneyshop could possibly pay us for the terminal damage they risk doing to it.
